Football feast, starting from the acquisition of European clubs

Chapter 309 When Will Daybreak Come?
The current Chelsea can be said to be full of stars, strong and strong, and the age structure of the main lineup is very reasonable.

Except for Makelele and goalkeeper Cudicini who are 34 years old and considered veterans, the other players are in the golden age of 25-31 years old.

Ancelotti has never fought such a rich battle for AC Milan's main lineup, which is mostly veterans.

Coupled with the absence of Crystal Palace's Tony and Jan Kohler due to injuries, Ancelotti boldly ordered Chelsea's players to fully attack.

On the Crystal Palace side, at the pre-match preparation meeting, Simeone and Southgate suggested to Chen Ran that the game should adopt defensive and counterattack tactics. Even Guardiola, who has always advocated offense, also supported their plan this time. view.

Obviously, the absence of Tony and Jan Kohler's injuries made Guardiola and the three of them feel a little bit uncertain.

However, Chen Ran, who is full of confidence in Ronaldo, did not adopt their opinions and still insisted on adopting active offensive tactics.

Moreover, Chen Ran also left a sentence for Guardiola and the three of them: "Don't underestimate Ronaldo's ability."

Therefore, from the first minute when the referee blew the whistle to start the game, the two teams, Crystal Palace and Chelsea, fought fiercely in the midfield.

Both teams are top players, and no one is much worse than the other in terms of pure ability.All of a sudden, the ball was constantly flying back and forth in the midfield, the possession of the ball was exchanged frequently, and no one could create a chance to threaten the opponent's goal.

Especially in Ancelotti's tactical design, in order to protect the midfield commander Pirlo, he has always equipped Pirlo with two bodyguards.

At AC Milan, it was Gattuso and Ambrosini, but now at Chelsea, it has been replaced by Makelele and Lampard.

As for Crystal Palace's Kaka, no matter how strong his ability is, it will be difficult to find a breakthrough in the three-sided encirclement of Pirlo, Makelele and Lampard.

After seeing that Kaka failed several times, Chen Ran hurried to the sidelines and called Modric over while the ball was dead.

"Junior Luca, try to pass the ball to Kaka as little as possible. There are too many defensive players around him. Pass the ball to Messi and Ribery more, and open the breakthrough from the two sides."

"If Chelsea's Makelele and Lampard's attention is drawn to the wing, and Pirlo has no helpers, then you pass the ball to Kaka. Understand?"

"Understood, boss."

Although Ancelotti's tactical arrangement is to stabilize the defense in the middle, but correspondingly, there is no full-back, which means that Chelsea's offensive and defensive tasks on the wing are all on the two full-backs.

Although Ashley Cole and Essien have strong personal abilities, they have no problem dealing with most teams.

But Crystal Palace is not an ordinary team. Chen Ran has long been eyeing Ancelotti's loophole, which is not considered a loophole.

For Chelsea's two full-backs, Chen Ran also prescribes the right medicine.

Although Ribery is small and fast, he has a tough style of play. When he breaks through, he rushes like a small steel cannon.

If you use him to deal with the black and hard Essien, you may suffer a loss.Therefore, Chen Ran arranged for Ribery to bully Ashley Cole, who was also small and fast.

Compared with Ribery, although Messi is slightly less tough, he has better skills and more flexible body. If he is used to deal with Essien, it is estimated that the African buffalo will be stunned.

After receiving Chen Ran's order, Modric carried it out very resolutely, and the balls flew to the positions of Messi and Ribery one by one.

When the game progressed to No. 208 minutes, Messi, who received a pass from Modric, quickly dribbled the ball along the left flank.

Because Chelsea did not set up a full-back, right-back Essien had to go up to intercept Messi alone.

At this time, Lampard, the midfielder on the right, also rushed over here, but he couldn't quench his thirst far away.

Seeing Essien rushing over, Messi swayed over with a fried ball with ease.At this moment, Essien is really as clumsy as an African buffalo.

Realizing that the situation on the right was not good, Chelsea's right central defender Carvalho hurried to make up for it.

At the same time, Lampard, who had been desperately returning to defense, also rushed over.

The two cooperated tacitly, one defending the bottom line and the other defending Messi's inward cut, instantly forming a defensive barrier in front of Messi.

At this time, seeing Messi in a double-team situation, Ronaldo also ran from the penalty area to respond.

Unlike Tony and Jan Kohler's traditional standing centers, Ronaldo's movement speed is obviously much faster.

As soon as he moved, Terry, who was in charge of marking him, quickly followed.

Both Carvalho and Terry moved to the right, which shifted the center of gravity of Chelsea's entire defense to the right.

The left-back Ashley Cole was still guarding against Ribery at this time and did not retract in time.

Suddenly, in the middle of Chelsea's penalty area, a gap was briefly exposed.

Outside the penalty area, Kaka, who has a keen sense of smell, immediately discovered this opportunity and immediately started to advance into Chelsea's penalty area.

At the same time, Pirlo also discovered this loophole in his defense.It's a pity that his speed can't be compared with his former teammate Kaka at all. When he started, Kaka had already run far away.

On the other side, Chelsea goalkeeper Cudicini also found the gap.What was even more frightening was that he also saw Kaka rushing towards this gap.

In desperation, Cudicini hurriedly shouted to his teammates to return to the defense to make up for the position.

Hearing Cudicini's shout, Ashley Cole immediately dropped Ribery and rushed back desperately. Makelele also rushed towards his penalty area from the position of the left midfielder.

This time, Chelsea's entire defense line was attracted by Messi, Ronaldo and Kaka.

Messi, who found that there were people in front of him, did not choose to continue to excel.After playing a few feints and getting out of the way, he immediately sent the ball into Chelsea's penalty area.

At this time, Kaka, who had already advanced in place, was about to attack the goal with a header.

But Ashley Cole also rushed over in time. Although he was short and couldn't compete with Kaka for the header head-on, he knew all the tricks that the small man and the big man used to compete for the header.

So, Ashley Cole took off vigorously, making a look like he also wanted to fight for the header.While in a position where the referee couldn't see, he grabbed Kaka's jersey with his hands and pulled it down desperately.

The effect was obvious. Kaka, who was not good at heading the ball, couldn't jump up enough under the interference of Ashley Cole. In the end, he could only helplessly watch the ball pass over his head.

However, when the attention of Chelsea's defensive players was focused on Kaka, Ribery, who was left unattended because Ashley Cole went back to defend, appeared at the point where the ball fell in time.

"boom!"

Without any hesitation or pause, Ribery didn't wait for the ball to land, and directly volleyed a pass, sweeping the ball back into Chelsea's penalty area.

Just when everyone didn't react and could only watch the ball fly past Chelsea's goal.

Suddenly a foot sticks out and kicks the ball into Chelsea's net.

"GOAL!"

It was Ronaldo. Just after Messi passed the ball to Chelsea's penalty area, he immediately turned around and began to rush towards the middle of the penalty area to prepare for a supplementary shot.

Relying on his strong sense of smell in front of the goal, before everyone could react, Ronaldo kicked and kicked Ribery's extremely fast pass into the opponent's goal, helping Crystal Palace to win at home. 1:0 leading Chelsea.

"I didn't expect Cristiano Ronaldo's adaptability to be so strong. Even in the unfamiliar center position, he scored goals immediately. Crystal Palace coach Chen Ran's adjustments to the team were immediate!"

"This goal is very difficult. Not only must you have a keen sense of smell in front of the goal, but you must also have an extremely fast reaction speed. Frankly speaking, this is something that traditional high center forwards such as Tony and Jan Kohler can never do."

"According to the current game situation, those competitors who cheered because of the injuries of Tony and Jan Kohler were obviously too happy. Don't forget, Crystal Palace still has Cristiano Ronaldo!"

Seeing Ronaldo's goal, Ancelotti's face immediately sank, who was still relaxed.

Although he also considered the possibility of being scored by the opponent first, but when it really happened, he still felt a little frustrated.

It's amazing, the bench depth of this Crystal Palace is really thick enough, and there are still people who can step up when the two main center forwards are injured.

Secretly pouted, Ancelotti, who had stabilized his emotions, walked to the sidelines to cheer up his players loudly.

"Cheer up! Didn't you just miss a ball? What's the big deal? Just hit it back in a while!"

On the Crystal Palace side, after celebrating Ronaldo's goal, Guardiola immediately moved to Chen Ran's side.

"Boss, now that we have gained the lead, can we switch to defensive counterattack?"

"Don't worry. The game has only been played for half an hour, it's still too early. Chelsea's offensive strength is very strong. If we let them completely control the midfield, our defense may not be able to defend. Let's wait until the second half of the game. Bar."

"Okay, boss."

I have to say that Ancelotti's ability to train the team is really outstanding.

After being scored by Crystal Palace, Chelsea, not only was not affected in any way, but the players on the field played more proactively.

Especially when defending, the assistance and supplementary defense between each other was so fast and accurate that the offensive players of the Crystal Palace couldn't find any flaws that could be used for a while.

Until the end of the first half, the score of 1:0 on the field did not change any more.

Because of the focus of this Premier League match, many football reporters gathered in the stands.

Following the whistle of the referee, the reporters immediately discussed the situation of the game in groups of three or four.

"I didn't expect that. Even without Tony and Jan Koller, Crystal Palace can still lead Chelsea. It's really disappointing."

"Hmph! I think that fat Italian is too incompetent. He can't grasp such a good opportunity. The Russian guy should fire him as soon as possible."

"It's easy for you to say. After firing this fat Italian, who do you ask to deal with that Chinese man? Don't forget, although the former Mourinho couldn't beat that Chinese man, he would be as soon as he left Chelsea." Immediately invited by Real Madrid to be the head coach."

"Hey, it seems that we still have to rely on our Sir Alex Ferguson to win back the Premier League trophy from Crystal Palace and that Chinese man."

"Hehe, Sir Alex Ferguson? I don't think so. With the Glazer family always holding back, it is unlikely that Manchester United will win the Premier League title by beating Crystal Palace."

"No way? I think during the transfer period this summer, didn't Manchester United buy a lot of people?"

"Then let me ask you, based on the strength of Manchester United's current lineup, do you think it is comparable to Crystal Palace?"

"Well, it seems to be a little bit worse."

"You put it so bluntly."

"Well, I don't know when our skies over England will light up."

During the intermission, because Crystal Palace played well in the first half, Chen Ran did not make any substitutions and adjustments except for playing chicken blood as usual.

On Chelsea's side, Ancelotti replaced Makelele with Joe Cole, and then let Joe Cole play as a midfielder, and then put Baracla in the midfielder position that Makelele had played before.

Obviously, Ancelotti is going to strengthen his offense.

At the start of the second half, Chen Ran, who saw Ancelotti's substitution, glanced at the Chelsea bench not far away.

This guy Ancelotti has really recognized this set of 4312 tactics. It seems that it is impossible to break through Chelsea's defense from the middle.

So, Chen Ran immediately turned around and called Guardiola to his side.

"Josep, you go and inform Yaya Toure to warm up and replace Kaka with him later. Then let Yaya Toure, Vieira and Modric play the three midfielders together. The team's formation Also becomes 451."

"Okay, boss."

Although Ancelotti moved Ballack's position back, his role has not been reduced, but the threat has become even greater.

When playing as a midfielder before, Ballack was always disturbed by Vieira or Modric.And Ballack himself is not a player with outstanding skills, it is difficult to get rid of Vieira or Modric's defense.

Now after retreating to the midfielder position, Ballack, who has a long-range shot, often takes turns with Lampard to shoot long shots.

It was difficult for Chelsea to penetrate the offensive of the Crystal Palace penalty area, but they played vigorously outside the penalty area.

All of a sudden, the sound of artillery outside the penalty area of ​​the Crystal Palace rumbled.One kick after another powerful long-range shot constantly threatened the goal guarded by Petr Cech.

If Chen Ran hadn't replaced Yaya Toure in time to strengthen the defense, Chelsea might have already scored the goal with heavy bombardment by this time.

Seeing that the situation on the court was not good for Crystal Palace, Chen Ran immediately walked to the sidelines
